What are your options for replacing teeth?

There are numerous options available for you to replace a lost tooth, all of which are designed to last for many years, so it’s important to choose the right treatment for you. Your dentist will be able to discuss your options in more detail, but may suggest one of the following:

1. Implants: Implants are replacement teeth which are fixed into your mouth using a titanium implant. The tooth is natural looking and very strong.
2. Crowns: If you have some of the tooth left, maybe just the root, the dentist can remove any unhealthy tooth from your mouth and then affix a crown to the root itself. A crown is just like a normal tooth and is very difficult to tell apart from your natural teeth.
3. Bridges: If you have a gap but have healthy teeth either side of it, a bridge can be a great solution. With this procedure, a replacement tooth is created to match the teeth around it, and then it is fixed onto adjacent teeth to give you a natural smile and bite.
4. Dentures: Dentures are the traditional replacement teeth solution, usually fixed on a plastic or metal framework, which can be removed from the mouth.

The right solution for your replacement teeth will depend on a number of factors, but your dentist will discuss the pros and cons of different options with you in more detail. To find out more about replacing lost teeth talk to our team today.
